Patient and Family Partnership Council

My name is Kathy Taylor. I am the daughter of Wally and Jeannine Waslyk. I am the third of four children. I graduated high school in 1976. In 1979 I met my husband Yvon Taylor and we were married in June of 1980. We had three children together, one boy and two girls. The children are now grown and all have families of their own. In the fall of 1976, I applied and was hired at the mill in Smooth Rock Falls, which at that time was Abitibi Price. I worked from 1976 to July 2006, in various positions until the permanent closure of the mill. After the mill closed, an Action Centre was set up and I was hired as the Co-ordinator to help the men and women that were affected by the mill closure. Once the Centre closed, I was hired by the English Public School in 2009 where I worked until I retired in June of 2014. I have been a board member of the Smooth Rock Public Library for approximately 20 years. I am now a member of the Patient Engagement Committee at the Smooth Rock Falls Hospital. ktaylor@srfhosp.ca
